Warren Mundine is booed as he casts his vote in the Voice referendum

A leading No campaigner has faced heckling Yes supporters as he voted in the Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum.

Leading No campaigner Nyunggai Warren Mundine has faced heckling Yes supporters as he cast his vote in the Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum.

Mr Mundine was booed and jeered at by pro-Voice activists as he made his way into an early voting centre in Sydney, but carried on shaking hands with people wearing both Yes and No shirts.

The ugly incident was captured by Sky News, showing the vocal opponent of the Voice chatting with locals in a sea of waving signs with loud “Yes" chants in the background.

It comes just hours after Prime Minister Anthony Albanese lashed the No campaign for spreading “misinformation”.

Speaking from Adelaide on Friday morning, Mr Albanese said there was a “certain arrogance that has crept into the No campaign of taking this for granted and taking Australians for granted”.

The Voice campaign has been getting increasingly vicious as the referendum nears its October 14 finish line.

The brutality of the race has compelled leaders to call for call for respect and maturity from both sides of the debate after a number of instances of abuse and racism were reported against prominent Voice campaigners.

Indigenous Affairs Minister Linda Burney called for the debate to be “guided by love and by faith” in early September.

She later revealed the torrent of vile, racist abuse she has endured during the referendum, after being caught on a hot mic incident telling NSW Premier Chris Minns about her “appalling” treatment.

Her Opposition counterpart Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has also called out racism throughout the referendum against her and her No camp counterpart Mr Mundine.

Senator Price was targeted by online trolls who leaked her phone number online, which led to her being “bombarded with the most revolting messages, voicemail messages that you could think of”.

“What I can say is that from the moment this referendum was launched by our Prime Minister, our nation has been divided,” Ms Price told the National Press Club at her debut address in September.

“We have seen ugliness on display, from right across the board. I know myself and Warren Mundine have been the subject of horrible racial vilification.”

Mr Mundine revealed to News Corp in July the almost tragic toll the constant abuse throughout the referendum has taken on him.

At a press conference in September, he blamed the abuse he and Ms Price had experienced on the Prime Minister, according to The Guardian.

Another prominent Indigenous No campaigner, Senator Lidia Thorpe has also been the subject of racism, even being named in a disturbing video by a suspected Neo-Nazi group.

Senator Thorpe was tagged in a distressing video posted to X, formerly Twitter, showing a man in a balaclava reading a racist statement, burnign an Indigenous flag, and performing a Nazi salute.

Senator Thorpe unleashed a furious response to the video, refusing to back down from her causes, and accused the Voice of causing “nothing but pain and misery for my people and in this country”.

Millions of Aussies will head to the ballot box on Saturday to vote in the referendum, but polls are not looking good for the Yes camp.

The latest Newspoll has support for the Voice at 34 per cent, well down from the 60 per cent figure it recorded back in February.

In spite of the grim eleventh-hour polling, Yes campaigners remain defiant and say they will fight to the bitter end.

Even Mr Albanese says he expects Australians to buck the “computer generated polls” and vote in favour of the change.

He even suggested some of them “forgot to speak with voters”.
